You'll note that I never mentioned it would be Tuesday in my post.

I only had about 15 minutes to play around with it since I loaded it onto a spare desktop - but yes, it was really annoying to shut down.

Actually, I would guess that this is exactly what they planned to do all along, but it wasn't just a minor code change or simple fix at all, which is why they decided to disable them until they can get it done.

I saw the bit about getting the reward twice if you can do both the hero and villain mission in the same week, but are you saying that you can get one of each reward choice per week also? If so, that's awesome. I had thought that it was one per week, period. Not one of each.

Edit: Also, wouldn't that mean that to get both the Hero and the Villain merit you'd have to do a full side switch during that week, too? And of course, spend the merit before you switch. That seems like too much trouble for too little reward to me. I'd be more inclined to take my Rogue and a friend's Vigilante and swap missions and do it six times in one week, instead of eight. (edit again: oh, unless a Rogue or Vig can actually get both contacts, like a Task Force, which seems plausible...)

This is probably the reason:

Very true.

The idea is that you clear the map in half the time it would have taken if the mobs rezzed. So you hop out and open a new map. Thus, what once took you, for example, 10 minutes in one instance now takes you 5 minutes in once instance and 5 minutes in another.

I don't think he/she was saying there would be more concurrent instances, just more instances being created in the same timeframe.

Whether that has any effect on server lag or not, I have no idea, so I'm not defending it as a valid argument. Just clarifying what I think the intent was.

Agreed on both counts, and well put.

I think 999+ ratings and Hall of Fame status is probably enough to tell them it's being used.. and this is a technical term - "a lot."

I don't think they needed Marty to tell them that defeating an enemy twice was giving more xp than defeating them once.

Yes, thank you dear, I see that. I was typing that while they went up.

If that's true I would bet it's not a bug. And yes, it is something that should be noted in the patch notes if it was intentional. Rezzers giving XP was not an exploit - it may have been taken advantage of, but it was working as intended and potentially affects any AE mission, not just farms. If they have changed the way it is intended to work, they would note it. They noted when they changed XP on Freakshow, or removed Rikti Comm officers and Fight Club monkeys (and that last one WAS an exploit) so I see no reason they wouldn't note this. They might not note it in the beta or test notes, but it should be in the live notes, based on past experience.

The point is that they WON'T be crafting common IO's.

If the crafting table was account wide, then there would be a lot fewer people out there crafting like mad and dumping them on the market for cheap. That's what he meant.

Pfft, you want desert terrain, we got Mars. The binary system is the far more interesting aspect.

The problem with CleverBot is that it doesn't appear to be doing much more than responding to what the user says in each line. It's not remembering previous lines of the current conversation and applying its learned conversations to them - just to the most recent line. So it can't really have a "conversation" so much as just respond to a single question or statement.

You know what, I give up. You're right. The question wasn't asking about Incarnate powers at all. Posi's comment CLEARLY had nothing to do with Incarnate powers. I don't see how anyone could possibly think it did.
